Years ago I had a women's college game at St. Francis College in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After the National Anthem and before the starters were announced, a priest from St. Francis offered a prayer asking the Lord's help for the fans, cheerleaders, coaches, and players; he made no mention of the officials. While the starters were being announced I told him that it was a nice prayer but he did not include the officials in his plea for help. He chuckled and pointed to the crowd (about 150) and told me that they would give the officials all the help we needed.
